[John Frigillana]

;) Lebanon Cedar is 6.25"H X 8"W finished with Danish Oil and several coats of Wipe on Poly. Lychee is 7.5"H X 5" W finished with Danish Oil and Beal buffed.Used Ci1 to rough it out and Sorby Swan neck Hollowing tool to finish.

Holly cow...someone else is tuning cedar and inlaying turnings:D.


How did you tackle the challenge of the Dutchman repairs in the curved surfaces?

[Steve Schlumpf]

Keoni - very nice turnings! Pretty wood, pleasing forms and real nice looking finishes! Also like the butterfly patches - looks really cool!

:eek:The Patches ( Pewa is what we call them in Hawaii) was put in after the beads wear cut and sanded. It got too thin at the shollowest part of the beads and ended up cracking. Glued them with CA and the Pewa's cut in thru both sides to strengthen the lip and beads.:)

What I meant was how did you cut them? The recesses for the Pewa?

Very nice, well done!

Keoni, The woods and vessels are great! I lived on Oahu for a year and wish I had some of the woods I saw over there, now that I am back in Wisconsin! Keep up the good work!

;) The patches were cut out with an X-acto knife. I got good at it . It's most of the wood I use by choice have a small crack in it. If you let me know maybe we can swap wood.:rolleyes:

Keoni both pieces are beauties. I like the inlay.
